Is it me, or is delicious basically useless now? I am honestly not trying to be an asshole; I work in software development and I know how hard they've been working, but... holy shit ( Read more... )

excessive experimentation

Other problems I've found not already mentioned:

When I search my bookmarks (for, example, "Erik/Charles"), it will return only some and not others, and the bookmarks that are shown are not in order by date.

When I click on the "# of saves" link, I can no longer see others' tags for the URL, only their comments, making bookmarkers who haven't left comments invisible.

I can see no use for the stack function, as it basically duplicates the tag function except with the option to add a picture and description (which you can no longer add to a tag, and all previous tag descriptions have been deleted).

The deletion of the "top 10" tags list is not hairpullingly distressing, because I remember a time when it didn't exist, but I will miss it.

WHYYYYY. 5+ years of my link curation have been rendered basically useless.

Looking at those tags gives me physical pain. What's up with all the different brackets?

Hah. The fannish tags, I assume? Well, they are entirely useless and stupid right now, because all of the tag-management stuff is gone. But the initial idea behind it was to force the sort within a bundle without compromising the socialness of the tag. So I had [character.name] and {pairing/name} or whatever, and they would always appear like that so you could find things easily, and BentonFraser used to be the same as benton-fraser and [benton.fraser], so they were searchable and would always show up. I'm totally open to redoing that stuff and working within new delicious' system, except that they don't have one and I can't rename tags and I might might MIGHT have one quarter of my tags visible on the front page. /o\

Well I applaud you for trying to work around the new system. I just can't understand why they changed it when it was already working so well.

I moved to Diigo when the first delicious announcement came, and it's fine, for what it's worth.

I can only see 10 at a time - how are you getting 1/4? And then when I click on any tag, I can only see the most recent 10 and NONE others to be found at all. WHY???

That's it, I'm moving to Diigo. I heard a lot about Pinboard, but apart from the fact that it's not free, I find the presentation a bit too clean/lite. But I can't really say, since I never tried it.

Plus, if I remember well, you can add a bookmark to Diigo and it automatically updates Delicious too. ah no, not anymore. Or at least, not right now: since Delicious changed, the thingy that made it possible doesn't work anymore. I hope they will correct it/put it up again ( ... )
